APRICOT-DIJON-GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Rinse chicken thighs; pat dry, and transfer to a baking dish. Season well with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Bring jam, honey, and mustard to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until thickened and reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Spoon apricot mixture over chicken thighs, spreading with back of spoon to coat evenly.
• Bake chicken, basting with sauce from bottom of dish every 10 minutes, until juices run clear when chicken is pricked with a fork, about 30 minutes.

APRICOT HABANERO PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• For the pork chops: Season the pork chops with salt and pepper; set aside while making the glaze.
• Add the apricot preserves, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, orange zest and juice and habanero to a small pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the sauce is reduced and thickened, 10 to 15 minutes; let cool. Divide the glaze between 2 bowls, reserving 1 bowl for basting and one for serving with the cooked chops.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Coat the grates with plenty of vegetable oil to help create a nonstick surface.
• Using a brush, coat the chops with the first round of glaze. Place them on the grill glazed-side down and grill without moving until the glaze begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Brush the tops with glaze, flip the chops, brush the other side with more glaze and continue cooking until the chops are caramelized, charred and sticky and the internal temperature registers 135 degrees F, another 7 to 10 minutes. Discard the basting glaze. Let the chops rest for 5 to 10 minutes, coating them once with the reserved serving glaze while resting.
• For the relish: Combine the mint, apple, bell pepper, scallion and lime zest and juice in a bowl and toss to coat.
• Top the pork chops with some green apple relish and serve with the remaining serving glaze and relish.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring jam and bourbon to a rapid simmer over medium-high. Cook until reduced by half, about 40 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and pepper and cook 2 minutes. Reserve 1 cup glaze for serving.
• Remove ham from oven and increase temperature to 425 degrees. Unwrap ham, carefully flattening parchment-lined foil against baking sheet. With a sharp knife, score fat with long cuts, 1/2 inch apart. Bake 15 minutes.
• Remove ham from oven and brush all over with some glaze. Bake until ham is deep golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 145 degrees, 45 to 60 minutes, brushing ham with glaze every 15 minutes (wrap tip of bone in foil if it begins to overbrown). Transfer ham to a carving board, tent with foil, and let rest 30 minutes before carving. Serve warm or at room temperature with reserved glaze.

APRICOT/MANGO JAM RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• In a large dry bowl, mix the apricots and the sugar. Cover and let it stay overnight in a cool place, stirring once or twice. Next day check for tartness if it is too tart you may add more sugar to sweeten it, add the mango pulp, stir once and let it stay for another 1 to 2 hours. Pour the mixture in a food processor bowl and process until you get a smooth pulp. Pour the mixture in a fine mesh sieve and with the help of a spatula press through the mixture through the sieve into a large dry cooking pot. Place the pot on the medium-low flame and let it come to a boil stirring once every 5 to 10 minutes. After it starts to boil, add the citric acid and check for tartness, if it is still too tart for your taste, you may add more sugar. Set the flame to low and let it simmer on low stirring every 10 minutes for at least 2 ½ to 3 hours until the mixture is thickened to a very thick jam consistency. Pour in clean dry mason jars and seal while it is still hot so it vacuum seals the jars. This can keep up to a year in a cool dry place.
